架构师提供的文本描述。现存的1920年的两层住宅位于波特兰，一个位于北爱尔兰安特里姆郡的海滨小村庄。波特兰的名字来源于爱尔兰的“Bhaile和Tra港”，意思是“海滩定居点的港口”，位于铜锣湾海岸和Glens区议会地区。

Text description provided by the architects. The existing 1920's two storey dwelling is situated at Portballintrae, a small seaside village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Portballintrae takes its name from the Irish ‘Port Bhaile an Tra’, meaning ; ‘port of the beach settlement’ and lies within the Causeway Coast and Glens District Council area.

最初的建筑特征是坐落在巴林内湾周围的粉刷过的小屋，尽管这个特征在很大程度上已经改变了，因为这个地区作为海滨度假胜地而广受欢迎。

The original building character consisted of whitewashed cottages nestled around the Ballintrae bay, although that character has changed in no small part through the areas popularity as a seaside resort.

简略地说，客户希望重新配置现有的住所，以便利他们三代家庭的现代家庭在开放式计划安排中生活。在初步简报会上提出的要求包括希望创造与外部环境接触的空间，并离开现有的牢房。客户有一个特殊的要求，提供一个外部热水澡区后，冲浪和家人访问附近的海滩使用。这强化了这样一种观念，即该计划应该充当家庭的“枢纽”，一个聚会和共度美好时光的地方。再加上简介的视觉和情感元素，我们有一项务实的要求，就是要改善现有楼宇的性能，并处理任何纯粹因楼宇楼龄而出现的问题。

Brief The client wished to reconfigure the existing accommodation to facilitate modern family living for three generations of their family in an open plan arrangement. The requirements set out at the initial briefing meeting included the aspiration to create spaces that engaged with the external environment and moved away from the existing cellular accommodation. The client had a specific requirement to provide an external hot shower area for use following surfing and family visits to the nearby beach. This reinforced the idea that the scheme should act as the family ‘hub’, a place to meet and spend quality time together. Coupled with the visual and emotive element of the brief there was a pragmatic requirement to improve the existing building performance and deal with any issues present simply due to the buildings age.

概念发展这种方法使公众街道的视觉影响变得微妙，但却提供了有趣的现代书籍，并给出了超出范围的建议。

Concept Development The existing building line facing Ballaghmore Road, had long been established and the intention was to develop a rear extension that would extend beyond the existing gable wall and benefit from views toward the hills beyond and from the evening sun. This approach allowed the visual impact from the public street to be subtle yet provide an interesting modern bookend and give a suggestion of what was beyond.

该大厦增加了一个新的扩建部分，以便为后面的私人花园创造一个开放的方面，同时改造光线暗淡的牢房，以方便家庭进行开放规划，满足居住愿望，并改善内部环境。概念建筑形式的灵感来自家庭对冲浪的兴趣。冲浪板的轮廓表现为在新形成的庭院上的悬臂，再加上硬木木料的使用，它提供了免受元素和触觉建筑表面的保护。其余的建筑是在传统的砖石建筑中形成的，其表面覆盖着自彩的白色渲染，参照了该地区的历史特征。使用的材料调色板是简单和克制的，重点放在坚固的硬木木材元素，以增加温暖。

A new extension was added to the building to create an open aspect to the private garden at the rear whilst the poorly lit cellular accommodation was altered to facilitate the families open plan living aspirations and improve the internal environment. The conceptual building form was inspired by the family interest in surfing. The surf board profile manifests itself as a cantilever over the newly formed courtyard and coupled with the use of a hardwood timber soffit provides both protection from the elements and a tactile building face. The remaining building is formed in traditional masonry construction and covered with self-coloured white render that makes reference to the historic character of the area. The material palette used was simple and restrained with the emphasis being placed on strong elements of hardwood timber to add warmth.

新的扩建是由一个现有的瓦楞纸屋顶外屋，这提供了一个重要的环节，过去。客户希望确保这一建筑元素被保留下来，因为它代表着与他们早期家庭生活的情感联系。新的扩展提供了他们的下一代家庭生活的视觉表现，而不忘记过去。他们渴望新的建筑扩建成为他们大孩子成长时期的重要组成部分，这是显而易见的。

The new extension is bounded by an existing corrugated roofed outhouse which provides an important link to the past. The client wanted to ensure this building element was retained as it represented an emotional link to their early family life in the house. The new extension provides a visual representation of the next generation of their family life without forgetting the past. Their aspiration for the new building extension to be a significant part of their grand-children’s formative years is evident.
